The Killer Queen by Noella Briony

Chapter 208

Chapter 208

“Ms. Yvonne, what have you been up to lately?”

Yvonne ached all over; her burns on her leg throbbed with every heartbeat, not to mention the bruises from being tossed out by Ulrich!

“I’m recovering. Didn’t you hear about the fire incident that occurred at the Gruber’s? What’s with the call at this hour?”

The thought of the Schnabels being so cruel to her, yet all smiles with Noella and Malvina, soured her mood with a mix of bitterness and envy.

Yvonne hesitated, torn. “Forget it. Mother doesn’t care about me. She only has eyes for that country

bumpkin!”

The nanny whispered, “Ms. Yvonne, I’m talking about your birth mother, not Sienna. Sienna is blind to your worth, but your real mother would never reject you.”

Duncan.had indeed never once mentioned her mother!

Yvonne’s spirits lifted. “Do you know my mom? Tell me who she is!”

“I’ll give you the lady’s number; you contact her. Just explain things to her, she’ll surely take pity on you.”
